With four years of experience in the tourism industry, two years of experience in the service industry, three years in education, and a lifetime of familiarity with the city of Portland, local comedian David Seung decided (after pressure from his more assertive girlfriend) to purse his obvious vocation and craft the paragon downtown food tour. Side Dish Mafia Food Tours is the product of both a deep love for this city (alongside its food, culture, and people) as well as a desire to see all of the aforementioned things thrive. Our mission is to serve as ambassadors for this town and the cooks who form its beating heart, introducing tourists (and, and times, locals) to an organic side of downtown they might not know, combatting the unproductive urban nihilism that stands in the way of our city’s growth and return to form.
